Why it doesn't matter here
Seven fully caged pitches on all-weather turf at 40 Andrews Road, Tallebudgera. Floodlit. Referee on every game, balls and bibs supplied. When fields across the coast shut, we stay open — that's the whole point of the place.

Lightning is the one thing that pauses us — the referee clears the courts until it passes, then play resumes.

Wet-weather football on the Gold Coast — quick answers
Is Robina Common closed today? The chip above shows Council's latest call for Robina Common (home of Robina City SC), with the time Council last changed its list. If it's rained since, the page turns amber — check with your club.
Why does Council's list sometimes show an old date? Council only updates its list when something changes, at 8.30am and 2pm on business days — never evenings, weekends or public holidays. An old date after a dry spell is normal. An old date after heavy rain means the list may be behind the weather; that's why we show the rain since.
My club's training is cancelled — can we still play tonight? Yes. Book a caged pitch by the hour, or bring the kids to $15 Kicks. Astro-turf boots or moulded studs; no metal.
Does Street RULZ ever get rained off? No. The courts are all-weather and floodlit. Lightning pauses play; rain doesn't.
Do you run a summer competition when the club season ends? Yes — Summer Fives: juniors U7 to U16 over ten rounds, seniors over nine, running through to late November. Every game refereed.
